Education and Qualifications Old School, Top Street, Wednesbury, West Midlands, Postcode GCSEs (July 2013) Maths (D), English (D) COPE (Certificate of Personal Effectiveness) Level 1 Award Skills and Work Experience I did my school work-experience in Big Store in the retail park. While I was there I worked in the warehouse where I helped with stock rotation, receiving deliveries, checking paperwork, stocking up the shelves and helping customers to take heavy items out to their cars. I received an excellent reference from the manager which stated that I am a good team worker, I completed all my tasks and that I am reliable. I often take care of my nephews who are aged 2 and 4 while my sister is out at work in the evening. She relies on me to look after them. This is a very responsible position and I need a lot of patience but I also enjoy it. Hobbies I am a member of my local boxing gym and intend to fight at a higher level if I can in the future. Boxing helps me to be disciplined and fit. My trainer has recently asked me to take on the responsibility of showing new members around, making sure they know how to use the lockers and talking to them about how they should behave.
